City
Driving
One
of
the biggest problems with city streets is the
amount
of
traffic on them. You'll want to watch out for
what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to
traffic signals.
Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving:
Know
the best way to get to where you are
going. Get a city map and plan your
trip
into an
unknown part
of
the city just as you would
for
a
cross-country trip.
Try
to use the freeways that rim and crisscross
most
large cities. You'll save time and energy. (See the
next
part,
"Freeway Driving.")
Treat a green light
as
a warning signal.
A
traffic
light is there because the corner
is
busy enough to
need it. When a light turns green, and just before you
start to move, check both ways
for
vehicles that have
not cleared the intersection or may be running the
red light.
